by Dr Fred Toates (Author)
Biological Psychology 2/e provides a full introduction to the core topics, concepts, research and debates that are central to our understanding of the brain and the biological basis of our behaviour. The new edition has been thoroughly revised and fully updated and includes an expanded treatment of evolutionary psychology and consciousness.
Assuming no prior knowledge of biology, the text uses everyday experiences to fully explain complex concepts in an interesting and accessible way. This is complimented by a range of inventive pedagogical features and extensive full-colour illustrations to stimulate interest and help students develop and test their understanding.
